my YouTube channel has a lot to do with cell phone repair and cell phone durability believe it or not I have only broken one cell phone in my life on accident I'll tell you that story in a minute but first I want to hear from a few of my YouTube friends to see if they've ever broken her phone normally on their channels we see these beautiful cell phones displayed perfectly but I think there's some horror stories hidden there somewhere let's find out hey guys I'm Kelsey and this is pebbles and with my phones I'm usually pretty careful I typically put my phone in an otterbox but the one time that I didn't was when I cracked the screen pebbles is there she could tell you right okay so I thought it was gonna be a good idea to try to walk two dogs and text at the same time you know what could go wrong with that and you know of course I was distracted because I was texting and the dogs got excited yanked the leash in my hand and my phone in one direction and I had to watch my phone slowly hit the ground multiple times before just landing flat on the pavement and you know it was an old phone so I actually lived with the crack for a really long time and you eventually got a screen and fix it myself but I guess the moral of the story is don't try to text while walking your dogs but if you do and you break your phone you can always fix it yourself what's up guys this is Zach from super socks TV and phone breaking stories well I actually have a few I've been known to drop my phones in the past not deliberately all the time anyway but the first time actually completely broke a smart phone was the Samsung Galaxy s4 I tend to use the case pretty much most of the time and I had the s4 for about a year and then the case kind of fell apart so I decided to go naked which was a bad idea because I think within a couple of days of me doing that I dropped the flower on its back on a hard surface and the screen just went it wasn't shuttered or anything but it just wouldn't switch on now the cost of the repair was around half the value of the phone so I didn't really bother with it and at the time I didn't know Zach otherwise I would definitely hit him up for some help in repairing it now another interesting story about me breaking one of my phones is the seven plus I dropped it and although there wasn't really any visible damage to the front-facing camera stopped working now I took it into the Apple store they had a look at it and they saw some structural damage so they did say that I have to get a replacement phone which costs around three hundred and fifty pounds here in the UK but they said that because I had bought it from them and it hadn't been too long that I had had it they actually gave me a replacement for free now this is why I always advise buying Apple products directly from Apple themselves and also why I praised Apple customer service so much not because I'm a fanboy thanks for having me Zach this is sac from super SAC TV and I'll see you next time hey guys this is Austin and I have never broken a phone that's a total lie I've actually broken a couple so the very first smartphone I ever broke was the original Moto X so remember it was actually one of those first review units that I got so I got it straight from owner Ola I was doing my video the day after I went go-karting and I hit my pocket and it was bent the frame was like completely like jacked up and the screen was totally shattered so I felt kind of bad but Motorola was cool with it so you know that was that was great another story was I was actually last year I actually killed an iPhone 7 plus twice so the first time was when I was doing my video and I was doing a quick little water test so I took it is obviously the first iPhone that was waterproof dropped it in a fishbowl picked it up and it started freaking out water was inside the screen was a little fogged up or specifically the actual camera was fogged up so that was kind of bad well the good thing was it dried out until I was running across the street and without a case on it flew out of my shorts and smashed right into a curb and again totally shattered the screen so you know in like the last 10 years I broke into phones I think that's not so bad right I'm Michael Fisher and I have broken more phones than even those bad luck schlubs on infomercials my most recent casualty it wasn't a victim of dropping or shattering for a change but of drowning you've watched enough jerry-rigged everything to know that the LGV 30 is water resistant but you probably also know that no phone is waterproof well I knew that too but I took it swimming anyway in the salty Pacific and you know what I got some of the most fun photos and videos of that trip thanks to the V 30 and then I pushed my luck seat when the phone survived all that I thought it was thanks to my careful freshwater baths I thought it could also handle a whole afternoon in a chlorinated swimming pool taking more ridiculous underwater photos and it totally did until it didn't a few seconds after leaving the pool the display went black and with the exception of a few flickers the next day never came back do I blame the phone no you're not supposed to push it that far and I had met that do I miss it though heck and yeah hey Zack two words repair collab think about it and thanks for having me on to share my shame so I think a lot of people are gonna find this pretty hard to believe but I have never actually broken my daily driver phone not in any like meaningful way like I have dropped my daily driver phone a fair bit my iPhone 6 has a really nice dent on the corner my Galaxy s8 has also a really nice dent on the corner going all the way back my iPhone 4 actually has some spectacular scuff marks on the back piece of glass because I was actually moving at the time and I dropped it and it skidded along the ground so the entire back of it has like these deep scratches but I have never actually had to do a glass replacement for one of my devices now my wife on the other hand she is such a prolific phone breaker she broke her s6 active oh prior to that like she broke an active and then prior to that when she was using a droid DNA the excuse was well the baby dropped it and I'm sitting here going why are you letting an infant use a phone what did you think that a six-month-old was gonna do with a phone handle it carefully they're gonna chew on it and then they're gonna drop it so she breaks her droid DNA and it takes me a while to get the replacement parts cuz it wasn't exactly a very common model finally it comes in and I'm not the most experienced phone repair technician but I'm competent enough so I did manage to do a screen replacement but it took me a little while three days later breaks it again that was actually when we switched her to the s6 active although from the earlier point in this story we all know what a great solution that ended up being so in conclusion I actually don't break phones but my wife my wife does she does I did break my iPad too oh oh that was my fault okay so we're sitting on the couch and we're about to watch a movie and I'm like sitting on the iPad and I'm done with it and so I kind of toss it on to the ground onto the carpet in front of me and we get I don't know ten minutes into the movie long enough to kind of forget that I put it there and my wife like lays down on my lap because it's a boring movie and she's probably gonna fall asleep she goes all your keys they're bothering me and I go okay yeah no problem that one was my bad but it wasn't a phone hey guys it's Krystal and here's a couple of my phone breaking stories let's take a little trip down memory lane so my first most memorable phone breaking story was of my Galaxy s7 right in front of my house right here and I've definitely talked about this one before this is no 8 but let's just pretend it's a galaxy s7 for the story cuz I don't have that phone anymore I was running inside my house late at night one night I don't know I was running inside but I and I tripped and fell on my brick concrete steps and there's only three steps there but I fell anyway I scraped my knee and instead of hurting my hand I hurt my phone because I was holding it as I was running inside and yeah cracked the edge of it I told myself I would put a case on every phone that I have and I would never be holding it while running but I do that all the time anyways so I never learned from that one this next phone breaking story kind of embarrassing happened with my Nexus 6p I had my Google pixel here so it should pretend that it is a 6p right now it happened as I was walking out of my neighborhood Walgreens and it was summer 2016 when Pokemon go was still a thing now this Walgreens is always a good spot to catch good Pokemon so I thought let me pull my 6p and try to catch some I opened up my Pokemon Go app and I saw a Snorlax just waiting for me to catch it so I started flicking away trying to catch the Snorlax and as I was flipping my little Pokemon balls trying to catch it my phone slipped out of my hands and fell to the ground and not only did I not catch my Snorlax I also cracked my six feet it was a really sad day because I loved that phone and it was actually one of the last times that ever played Pokemon go yeah it's pretty sad and the most recent damage that I've done was to this iPhone six-plus don't even know why I had it out I just did for some reason I was holding in my hand and I was leaning on the second-floor balcony of my house and it kind of just slipped out of my hand and fell to the first floor onto the hardwood floor and then this happened I mean it's pretty bad but considering that 20 foot or something dropped it could be worse I think it doesn't really turn on anymore but it did have problems prior to the fall so I think that fall was just as last like that's the last thing that it could take it was coming to its final days anyway but those are my phone breaking stories and considering all the phones that I've had I think I've done pretty good hey what's up guys I'm kitty HD here and yes I have broken a phone in fact pretty recently now I was actually previously pretty proud of my never broken a phone in a couple of years record may have even mentioned that in my own videos but this iPhone 10 I've actually tweeted pictures of this now this is a phone that I've broken very recently well actually I don't know if I didn't break this phone so I don't feel like I broke it but it is my phone and it's broken so the reason I say that is this broke while I was in a different room iPhone 10 is so slippery that if you put it on a surface face down and leave it like that long enough and it vibrates and you get a few texts and notifications it might vibrate enough to get to the edge of that table and fall this happened I put this on the top of a dresser in a different room when in ten minutes I was in a different room maybe typing some emails doing something else and then I just kind of hear this crash and I'm not really sure what it is so I leave and I walk back to the other room and I find this iPhone on the ground with glass around it there's chunks missing from the corner it took a pretty hard fall so I'm now again a member of the broken iPhone club again I don't think I can say that I broke it I don't consider this a phone that I broke but that's the latest to happen to me the one time I broke a cell phone an accident was with the iPhone 7 plus there's about a period of three months where I was trying to give Apple a fair chance and use an iPhone as my daily driver and about three months into it it was okay but after about three months into it I was going on a date went to go pick up the girl gave her a hug on her front porch and as I was giving her a hug her purse or her hand or something hit this phone out of my hand straight onto the concrete flat down on the surface I don't think I had a case on it I can't quite remember but I'm pretty sure there was no screen protector in no case and the whole thing was just obliterated and while I was fine using iPhone for those three months that was kind of the abrupt end to my iPhone experience I switched back to my galaxy s7 edge right after that I did end up repairing this phone and I think I even did a video about it on my channel and ended up working perfectly so there's no hard feelings and there you have it most people who have owned cell phones in their life have damaged them one way or another whether it's their personal fault or the extenuating circumstances caused the damage damage happens and putting protection on your phone would be a good thing I want to thank all my YouTube friends for joining in this interesting collab I'll have all of their channels linked down in the video description if you want to check out any of them individually they're all solid people to check out if you've ever broken a phone I want to hear your story down in the comments make sure you're careful with your cell phone and thank you so much for watching I'll see you around
